NAZIS IN AMERICA
OPERATIONS OF AGENT MAIL AT THE CONSULATE HIGH OFFICIALS INDICTED (United Press Assn.—Liec. Tel. Copyright) (Received July 9, 3.15 p.m.) LOS ANGELES, July 8 The United States Commissioner, Mr David Head, recommended the district attorney to charge Fritz Wiedemann, German Consul-General at San Francisco, with conspiracy in connection with the case of Herbert Hoehne, a German citizen, who was charged with failure to register as a German agent. Mr Head recommended the same action against “Mr Loeper,” said to be Chancellor of the German Consulate at San Francisco. Mr Head said: “The facts show that Hoehne was personally delivering the Consular mail to several Consulates. Wiedemann must have known that Hoehne was unregistered as an agent of the German Government. It is my opinion that Wiedemann and Loeper committed an overt act when they conferred with Hoehne without reporting his presence here.”
